a Fedora Core 6 installation to Fedora 9.  The system was set to use the 
gnome desktop.  Upon completion the system boots to a text screen.  X 
server does not appear to be running (although it ran during the 
installation).

wrong or how to recover?

After numerous bad experiences upgrading from one version of <any
distro> to another, I have settled on a method which seems to work
better for me: back up everything of interest to a usb drive, install
the new distro from scratch, and then copy whatever is needed from the
backup media. 

 
Good luck!
